FUNCTIONAL AND SAFETY CHECKING
:
After 30 minutes of operation where everything seems normal, partially open the door of the Bilovax LS-50 slowly and carefully, then open
wide the door and fill out the Bilovax LS-50 with a full load of wood and close the door. The normal cycle of combustion should restart
within a short time. With a full load of wood, the Bilovax LS-50 should work for 3 hours at full fire.
SECTION 6. USE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERALITIES :
Before lighting the pool heater, make sure the pump is running and the water flows freely through the filter and the
Bilovax LS-50
is purged
of air. In a new installation, it is recommended to leave the pump and filter running 24 hours to fully purify water. After 24 hours of
operation, check that the chlorine content, pH and alkalinity are as prescribed before putting the pool-heater on. See warning and complete
information on the properties of water at page 4.
CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS:
WARNINGS
1-
For safety, it is imperative to keep the loading door closed while the operation of the pool heater.
2- If the burning becomes out of control, keep the loading door firmly closed and the circulation of water through the
pool-heater. Please also oversee the seal of the loading door.
CAUTION
Do not burn garbage, gasoline, naphtha, motor oil, other flammable liquids or chemicals in the pool-heater. Failure to
observe this warning can cause explosion and / or fire causing death or bodily harm and / or property damage
WARNING
Do not use this appliance at a temperature below 5oC (40oF) without adequate protection against freezing.
CAUTION
Do not ingest alcohol or drugs before using the pool or pool-heater. Ingestion of such intoxicants can cause drowsiness
which may lead to unconsciousness and subsequently result in drowning. Do not heat the pool water at a temperature of
over 38.9 oC (102 oF). A temperature of 37.2 oC (100 oF) is considered safe for a healthy adult, warmer water increases
the risk of hyperthermia. Remember, pregnant women and young children have a lower tolerance threshold and should
not be exposed to such temperatures.
Whenever possible, always use dry wood for better efficiency and less chance of soiling of the device. If you do not want to extend the
heating cycle beyond three hours, just let the heater go out by itself.
PERIODIC INSPECTIONS:
The
Bilovax LS-50
pool-heater is designed and built for a long service life when installed and used according to manufacturer's instructions
and recommendations. An annual inspection by qualified service staff is recommended to maintain the heater in full operation. Inspection
points following are of importance in order to maximize the useful life of the
Bilovax LS-50
.
Periodically check the air intake of the pool-heater to prevent to be blocked with debris or leaves. Always maintain the clearance free of
debris, combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. Remember shrubs grow and they can come to encroach on
the safe clearances of the pool-heater, please bring them in safe clearances by trimming them if this is the case. Make sure your wood supply
is also maintained in safe clearances. Also make sure the flue pipes and hat are always firmly connected to the device.
Do not store near the pool-heater chlorine, pool chemicals or other corrosive substances.

2 : CALCUL DE LA SURFACE DE LA PISCINE
Les facteurs influençant la capacité du chauffe-piscine à chauffer une piscine donnée comprennent la dimension de la piscine, la température
ambiante, l’exposition au vent et sa vélocité moyenne et l’augmentation de la température de l’eau de piscine versus la température
ambiante. Une piscine dans un endroit ensoleillé et protégé du vent sera plus facile à chauffer qu’une piscine dans un endroit venteux et
moins ensoleillé.
Calcul de la surface de la piscine selon sa forme
Surface= R x R x 3.14 Surface= Longueur x Largeur Surface = R1 x R2 X 3.14
Illustration 1
1. Déterminer la surface de la piscine en pieds carrés. Pour une installation d’une piscine intérieure, réduisez la surface de la piscine du
2/3.
2.
Déterminer la température désirée de l’eau de la piscine (de 25
o
C (77
o
F) à 28
o
C (83
o
F)).
3.
Déterminer la température moyenne de l’air du mois le plus froid d’utilisation.
4.
La hausse de température est la différence entre ce qui a été déterminé à 2 et à 3.
5.
Le
Bilovax LS-50
possède une capacité thermique de 165 000 BTU à pleine charge de bois avec du bois dur sec et
l’utilisateur devra déterminer avec des essais le rapport entre le nombre de pleines charges de bois utilisées et l’atteinte de la
température idéale de sa piscine.
Lorsque la piscine n’est pas utilisée, il est conseillé de la recouvrir d’une toile isolante pour en réduire les pertes de chaleur et aussi la
consommation de chlore et l’encrassement inutile du système de filtration.
